Letter from Midway.
Mmwy, Feb. 23.-Farmers over here are
busy fixing to plant. Health of this com
munity is i.ad at this time. A great many
are down with the grip.
Mrs. J. H. Johnson has been very ill, but
is mending.
I saw in the TIMES where Mr. Way and
Mr. Sufferer have been talking about bad
roads but I think they have both slept away
their time, for the county commissioner
of Clarendon has been in office for almost
three years and there has not been much
work done on the roads yet. He talks of
renting the roads out to some good farmers
for farm purposes, but I don't think the
young men of Balem will suffer that, al
though the roads would bring good rent.
I think the honey-bee cotton in Sandy
Grove will do well this year if the finny
tribe don't rise, which will give the cotton
the ruit. It will have to do fine if it gets
up with pig pens cotton. r. Y.

Mr. W. S. Holladay and family will move

News from St. Paul
ST. PAUL, Feb. 25.-As you desired items
Df news along the line, St. Panl offers a
;mall contribution this week. We have
been waiting for our genial friend and your
ible correspondent "Tom" to occasionally
ake mention of us, as we are very close
neighbors to Silver and would ighly apre
:iate his attention. We do not complain as
i "Sufferer" by the "Way," but only a friend
ly desire.
The farmers of this section are rapidly
pushing to a close the preparation of the
soil for the seed, and are in fine trim for an
thcr crop. Nearly all the.cotton lands are
well broken, and preparations for corn will
woon be complete, and with this fair start
ind good seasons, we hope to make one of
the largest crops we have made for years. If
we can have a few more good crop years as
last year there will certainly be rejoicing in
the land, especially with us who pull the
bell rope over the nwule.
We have still left in reserve some few bales
f cotton, and some few colored farmers are
Lodling a share. This surely bespeaks bet
ter times, with no fear of the wolf at the
oor to distress or break our calm repose.
Our little village of St. Paul is rapidly
rowing, and the signs of the times plainly
indicates that St. Paul has a strong grip up
n the business of our county, and will sur
pass in shipments any other station or vil
lage of its size in ClarendoL. The standard
f commercial interests is in the hands of
larendon's favorite, D. Levi, whose zeal
md energy stands at the head of the col
amn.
The remains of Joseph.S. Stalvey, son of
U1. Stalvey, who died of consumption near
Sumter, was buried hero at St. Paul church
to-day. The family have the sympathy of
Dur entire community in their sore aillic
tion.
La grippe has been our constant compan
ion for some time, but we hope to part ac
guaintance, as its familiarity keeps us pret
ty thin.
We would be glad to hear something more
of the reminiscences of the '23rd 5. C. Vol
unteers. It is editying and refreshing,
though it carries us back to recollections of
dys that tried men's souls, which none can
tell but those who know. Clarendon's hon
or is well represented in the long list of
brave, departed friends. Comrade, write

A Knight Visits Spartanbuirg.
EDIroE MANNING ThIs:-I have often
:hought one of the most deligatful of pleas
ares is the meeting of a dear friend or vis
iting a favorite haunt after years of separa
tion. The writer enjoyed both during the
past week at Spartanburg whither we had
sone as a representative of Damon Lodge
io. 13 to meet in council the Grand Lodge
yf this Jurisdiction of one of the noblesti
yrders in the world; that order which bears
upon its banners the motto "Friendship,'
Charity, and Benevolence," and counts as
he richest jewels that it garners the tears of
widows and orphans. We pressed the hand
md looked into the eyes of our chum-near
y every college boy has his chum -whom
we had not met for sixteen years; and we
>nce more entered Wofford College and
stood again in the class-room-dear old room!
-of Dr. Carlisle; stood on the very spot
hat we were wont to stand in the long years'
igo to call the roll of a class that will never
umeet again unless there be a reunion-God
rant there may !-in the realms of eternal;
bliss.
Soon after our arrival we were joined by
ne to whom we are bound by ties stronger
han those of affinity; and a little later by
Mr. Cannon, the model cashier of the new
bank, who, with his charming, intellectual,
md Christian wife, entertained us with such
anbounded hospitality that it places us un
Ir lasting obligations to them.
The Spartanburg of to-day bears little re
smblance of the little old town that stood
n that site sixteen years ago. It is a city
with beautiful and costly residences, long
-ows of splendid mercantile establishments,
arge manufactories, and the finest schools
md colleges in the State. But one of the
most prominent features of Spartanburg
inside from the fact that it is 'built on more
ills than Rome-is that it is a city of
:horches. All the principal sects have their
:laces of worship, and the Methodists alone
rave three churches in the city.
The Grand Lodge meeting is said to have
yeen the largest ever held in the State, and
one could possibly have been more harnmo
aous. Business of great importance was
ransacted, and the meeting was full of ab
orbing interest. However, all will appear
n the journal, excepting that which cannot
>e written here or elsewhere. Gen. James
s a fine presiding officer, and he and every
>e else is pleased with his succesor. The
>anquet given in honor of the Grand Lodge
>y Morgan Lodge was just splendid, and
he responses to toasts all good. S.

How far Should tlie Teacher be Respolis.
ble for the Moral Training of the Child !
That the training which a child receives
in the school-room should include the mor
al, as well as the physical and intclectua
side of his nature, is a proposition so comU
monly accepted and acted upon by teachers
and insisted on by patrons in a great many
instances, as to admit of very little discuss
ion in the negative. However we may and
do differ in methods of work and in ideas
of government, we are all agrced, 1 think
that education in the truest ser:se, educatioi
as all the great teachers of the world have
conceived it, is the development of charac
ter. As teachers, we must work, therefore,
toward a training which shall embrace all
sides of the pupil's nature-which shall takc
in his whole being. A training which not
only aims to develop the mind in al' its
powers; the body not alone, but the soul--im
the restraining and reducing of evil habits,
propensities and passions, so that all decis
ions and impulses are brought into con
formity with principles of truth, goodness,
sincerity, and right; in the development of
a conscience which shall be void of offence
toward God and our fellow-man. The
schools are bound, in self-defence, to give
some moral training. A school cannot be
treated as a machine. Education is dealing
with life; and life will not stand still.
I have long thought, and do still, that in
no department of school work should the
teacher be held to stricter account than in
this. We have been accustomed to hearing
it said that the teacher's office is one of great
responsibility; and we have become so ac
customed to it, until I fear it has lost its sig
nificance in a great measure. You will per
mit me to repeat it, by using another de
scriptive term. The teacher's position is
one of tremendous responsibility, in view of
the imn sity and far-reachingness (if the
word will be permitted) of the issues and
consequeaces involved. You and I hai
been weig ited eown by a sense of this re
sponsibility whenever we have stopped to
consider it; but it is upon us; we cannot es
cape it, and it must be lived up to as best
we are able. Remember, that in this as in
all else: opportunity is the measure of :e
spensibility.
The teacher's responsibility for the moral
training of his pupils begins with his exram
ple, and here the opportunity for doing good
is very g :eat. That the teacher should be a
moral ran admits of no argument. That
many are not is a fact as common as it is to
be deplored. We cannot teach other others
to be that which we are not ourselves. We
teach much by precept; more by exaImiple. If
the teacher's life is not what it should be
any endeavor on his part to dovelop true
moral instinct in his pupils will be worse
than farcical. As water does not rise above
it-. level, so children will not rise above the
example of the teacher. Sermons and per.
functory lectures are of little use in the
school-room. If the teacher has no other
method of reaching the feelings and the
conscience his work will be wasted. The
teacher should be a .man well versed in hu
man nature: he should understand the vari
ous ways of reaching the hearts and con
sciences of his pupils. His exam ple should
be pure, and his ideas of right and justice
should be crrect ones; and they should
never be outraged. Children, young and
ld, are imitative beings, and they are prone
to imitate those whom they consider superi
or to themselves. The superiority of the
teacher is taken for granted-his ways of
doing, his habits, be they good or bad, are
taken up and become part of the child's
character. In this matter there is no neu
tral grornd. Our example is either good or
bad. We cannot-we simply ceano!, avoid
the responsibility. We are teaching every
moment by our example, whether -e will or
not. And that teacher who strives to be an
ideal example to his pupils will be a suc
cess, and "his works will follow him."
The teacher is also responsible for the
development of the till. We hear a good
deal said, among people who should know
better, about the "crushing of the will," but
there is no faculty of a child which demands
and should receive more cultivation than
this. If teachers would only keep in view
the aim to produce a self-governing being,
not a being to be governed by others, the
products of our schools would make better
men and women. The will is the mind's
propelling power; therefore a correctly train
ed will means a mind in which there will be
no hesitancy in a choice between good and
evil. Of course the child must know the
distinction between right and wrong, and
this will involve training in another direc
tion, which I sh'dll take up in the next
place. Were children to be slaves when
they grow up it might be well to accustom
them to a systenm of training which would
erush out every instinct of freedom, but as
they are to be free men and women-pre
eminently so in this land of ours -as they
are to have no one to control their daily
conduct, we cannot too much accustom them
to self-control in all matters which come up
in the school-room. The independent Amer
ican boy is the father of the independent
American man; and you cannot have the
last without the first. In no departmaent of
school work will our time and lanor be bet
ter spent than in this. The effects of such
training caennot be ov'er-estimated. They
ire immediate and far-reaching. The will
is bound to be developed in sonme way, and
it is of the utmost importance to the child,
ind it is the bounden duty of the teacher,
that the development should be a correct
ane, that the greatest consequent good may
result therefrom. The teacher is respo'nsi
ble in the next place, for thie *raining of the
conscience. Whether this faculty is a correct
guide or not, depends altogether upon its
training. The example of the teacher may
be all that it should, the will of the child
may be trained, but unless the development
>f conscience-of the ability to distinguish
between good and evil-goes hand in hand,
ittle good will be ac::omplished. One rule
should be sufficient for the school-room-and
>nly one: wE MUST ALL. DO rIGHT. The striv
ing on the part of both teacher and pupils
:o live up to this cannot fail to make both
better, purer, and nobler. A child's con
eption of right and wrong are usually very
:rude, and it will take time to develop the
roper ideas: but it u-ill be time well spent.
Nothing worth attaining ever comes other
vise, as wve wvell know, than by patient and
ontinued effort.
Lastly, the teacher should be responsible,
n a degree, for the reli'jims training of the
bild. I say, "in a degree," for I think that
his may be left, in a large measure, with
he parents. However, it seems to me that
ome religious training is absolutely neces
'ary, as religious and moral training are al
nost synonymous terms. Then, too, we
ive in a Christian land, and to the existence
>f our free institutions much is due to
hristianity. Bleing indebted to the Chris
ian religion for what we are, and so much
lependent on its truths for what we hope to
>e, how important it is that the youth of the
:ountry should be brought up under its he
eficent influences. When I say religious
raining I do not mean sectarianism. No
eacher has a right to inculcate the peculiar
loctrines of his creed. There is common
~round which all of us, no matter u-hat our
reed be, may occuny, and to whic-h no
~easonable man will object. The teacher is
nexcusable in putting away the great truths
>f the Bible as if they were of no impor
ance to him. They should command his
aith and covern his conduct. It is to be
egretted that the tendency now, in certain
ections, is to discard religious training in
he schools altogether. The great trouble is
hat in the race for temporal things, and in
he utilitarian view which has been taken of
~ducation, viz: that of a help for money
naking, we have forgotten the development
>f the child's character. We should remem
>r that character cannot be reckoned in
lollars and cents; and that it is eternal. Le~t
is strive to develop our pupils along thi.
ines of truth, goodness, sincerity, patiencet,
oving-kindness, and all the other attribut s
hich go to make up a wveli-rounded charne
er. It will pay a bcetter ir isrest than the
leterminationof the latitude of Sniooiksville,
>r the calculation of the cul-ical con tents of
Sbarrel of beer, or finding the year in
vhich John Smith was born, or any like
liversion with which some teachers are
sont to stultify the iminds of their pupils.
Lhe child is of nmore imlportance than
snow~le'dge. When we comprehenud this
;ruth in its entirety we will he a long way
rn the road to successful work, and wvill he
ible to write ourselves truly as Teachers

It is natural to snppose that in colonia

I have, however, never seen but one instanc
of the kind mentioned. In the "History o

which was published in the Sh Go-oi
Gazelle during the year 174-8. The notice i
about a -Negro Fellow" taken up by az

The ne-ro's account of himself was "'tha

offer eggs from my prize pens of Black Minorcas, Brown Leghorns, and
White Leghorns, at $3 per setting of 15, or $5 for 30 eggs. In addition
to other prizes awarded to the birds composfng these pens, the Cockrels were
awarded first prizes at the great International Poultry and Pet Show, recent

These birds can be relied upon as being the finest of their strains. They
were purchased from breeders of established reputation, at a cost of $145
for the three pens of 18 birds, and the prizes won by them over the large
array of competitors is a guarantee that they are all that is claimed. I__
